Q5 Daytona research

[Q5XX29]

Those of you who are interested in current events with Daytonas probably already know that the Q5 car in Illinois has changed hands, and has moved to Pittsburgh. Bought by an enthusiast from there, it will be fully restored. That's pretty exciting. The only known Q5 four-speed Daytona.

I've been trying to find a long-lost photo of my own Q5 Daytona (often known as the former Charles Self Daytona,also owned previously by Ed Cook and Dave Mikkelson). This photo I'm after shows the car in 1970, after the original owner, enthusiastic about Chargin' Charlie Glotzbach's purple #99 car, painted the Daytona plum crazy, and left the wing/stripe white, and painted the fender scoops white. I've spoken with some of the former owners of my car, and although Ed Cook had this photo in his possession at one time, he can no longer find it. He thought perhaps it was posted here on this forum once. Has anybody ever seen such a photo? I would be most appreciative if somebody could come up with it for me!

I'll try to attach a snapshot from one of the articles from a Mopar magazine done on my car, that discusses the photo.

I read XX Hemi Ed's old post didn't see any

Good news for me- both Ed Cook and Dave Mikkelson (previous owners) were able to find a copy of the photo for me!

Cropped a bit. Edge of photo is stamped June 1970. Sure didn't stay in its beautiful turquoise color very long! Doesn't have the "wide aluminum slots" mentioned in the magazine article, so maybe there is another photo out there.

Thanks!  Apparently already roasted through the white walls on the rear

Well,  I'm the current owner of the Q5 4 speed car mentioned above.   I couldn't be more excited to get the restoration started, but I just got another V code 4 speed 70 back from the paint shop so that one goes together first.  Hoping to have this disassembled and blasted before the end of 2025, then I can focus on the metal work over the winter.    Otherwise, come to MCACN this November to see the 70 RT SE unveiled.

NICE!  I'll be at MCACN with my Daytona, my son's '68 Dart GTS, and my dad's '66 Coronet 440 in the Generations Display.  See you there!

The Chicago mafia will be out in full force.
Looking forward to seeing you guys
